This two-day workshop will illustrate through extensive use of video how applying the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to teaching Verbal Behavior (VB) can be effective in classroom settings for students with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Research has demonstrated that the application of these principles (motivation, stimulus control, reinforcement, extinction, etc.) to teaching language and other important skills can lead to the development of functional communication skills, reduction in problem behavior, and an increase in social interactions.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify the core deficits identified by the DSM-V that define the autism diagnosis.
